Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of infrared focal plane detector technology, and in particular to an infrared detector column-level buffer and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared detection technology is a passive imaging technology for detecting targets. It achieves detection and identification based on the difference in infrared radiation caused by the difference in temperature and emissivity between the target and the background. It has the characteristics of wide coverage, good concealment, strong anti-interference ability, and all-weather operation. It has been widely used in many fields such as industry, medicine, and astronomy.

[0003] The development trends of infrared detection technology mainly include high resolution, high sensitivity, large dynamic range, high frame rate, multispectral processing, and intelligent detection. Based on their working principles, infrared detectors are mainly divided into two categories: photonic detectors and thermal detectors. Currently, high-performance infrared detectors are dominated by cooled photonic HgCdTe infrared detectors. The infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) is the core component of an infrared detection system responsible for converting infrared radiation light signals into electrical signals and outputting them. It mainly consists of two parts: the infrared detector's sensitive element array and the readout integrated circuit (ROIC).

[0004] The infrared detector's sensing elements and readout circuit are interconnected via indium pillars using flip-flops. The sensing element array is primarily responsible for converting incident infrared radiation into photocurrent, which then flows through the interconnected indium pillars into the readout circuit. The digital readout circuit's signal processing path typically integrates injection-level pixel circuitry, signal processing circuitry, data output circuitry, and digital control circuitry.

[0005] Under the existing technology, the following problems mainly exist: (1) In large-scale arrays, the length of the pixel signal trace increases, and the parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance increase linearly with the array size, resulting in a large IR drop in the pixel output signal and limited signal settling speed; (2) To achieve fast signal establishment, the cell column buffer usually adopts the PING-PANG sampling method, which is actually a space-for-time design method. It usually requires two identical driver stage designs, which increases the circuit area and power consumption. At the same time, due to the column size limitation, the layout complexity also increases. In addition, the PING-PANG acquisition method cannot make full use of the oversampling and noise reduction function of the subsequent analog-to-digital converter.

[0006] (3) In order to increase the dynamic range of the detector, the signal swing within the pixel should be designed to be as large as possible. The pixel column buffer usually drives the ADC capacitor load. Under large signals, it is a difficult design to ensure both high linearity and low power consumption of the buffer. Summary of the Invention

The column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit outputs to the column-level buffer driver stage circuit. A column-level buffer driver stage circuit is connected to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to utilize the ADC output.

[0009] This application provides a control method for an infrared detector column-level buffer, including: After the internal signal of a pixel is integrated, the column output line is reset. After the reset, the row selection switch of the pixel array is turned on row by row. The pixel output stage is connected to the buffer input stage circuit. The column signal operates through current and voltage respectively, and passes through the level-shift NMOS transistor M of the column buffer input stage circuit. N8 To achieve linearity restoration, in order to complete the readout of the pixel column signal; Configure V shift The signal's operating timing controls the switching of the column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit on V. shift The signal is acquired and filtered, and the acquisition control is performed based on the column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit. The Vshift signal is acquired and held. Based on the amplitude of the acquired and held signal, the switching of the column-level buffer driver circuit is controlled to change the open-loop and closed-loop modes of the column-level buffer driver circuit, so as to achieve signal output.

[0019] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the column-level buffer ping-pang acquisition circuit includes: Switches S1 / S2 / S3 / S4 are used to implement PING-PANG sampling and continuous sampling. Capacitors C1 and C2 are used for signal sampling and filtering; The transfer capacitor C3 is used to maintain the phase of the received column signal and to prevent kickback when the ADC acquisition buffer output stage signal is generated.

[0021] The infrared detector column buffer of this application, through the aforementioned constituent units 2-5 and the pixel signal output stage 1, realizes high-speed, low-power, and high-performance establishment of pixel column signals, which is especially suitable for column-level digital infrared detectors.

[0022] The buffer driver stage circuit of this application can solve the problem of high-speed, high-linearity setup of large-swing pixel signals, achieving SNDR>70dB with a 1.6V output swing, and supporting the driving of high-speed oversampling column-level analog-to-digital converters. The infrared detector column-level buffer circuit proposed in this application, through the design of the buffer's signal operating timing and the driver stage's driving mode, enables high-speed, low-power, and high-performance driving of the ADC load of the column-level analog-to-digital converter by the pixel column signals.

[0023] This application also proposes a control method for the infrared detector column-level buffer as described above. The infrared detector column-level buffer control method proposed in this application is applicable to signal processing using a column-level analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The column-level ADC can be a Nyquist ADC or an incremental SDM ADC, with the incremental SDM ADC showing better performance. The use of an incremental SDM ADC in this embodiment is described as follows: Step S1: After the internal signal integration of the pixel is completed, the column output line is reset. After the reset, the row selection switch of the pixel array is turned on row by row. The pixel output stage is connected to the buffer input stage circuit. The column signal operates through current and voltage respectively, and passes through the level-shift NMOS transistor M of the column buffer input stage circuit. N8 To achieve linearity restoration, in order to complete the readout of the pixel column signal; Step S2, Configure V shift The signal's operating timing controls the switching of the column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit on V. shift The signal is acquired and filtered, and the acquisition control is performed based on the column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit. Step S3: Acquire and hold the Vshift signal. Based on the amplitude of the acquired and held signal, control the switching of the column-level buffer driver circuit to change the open-loop and closed-loop modes of the column-level buffer driver circuit, so as to achieve signal output.

[0024] In some embodiments, the switch of the control column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit controls V shift Signal acquisition and filtering include PING-PANG acquisition and continuous acquisition, with PING-PANG acquisition and continuous acquisition each configured with different V values. shift Signal operating timing; Step S21, PING-PANG acquisition control includes: according to the configured V shift Signal timing, such as V shift The signal is in accordance with the attached Figure 3 Works according to the timing, based on F S1 and F S2 Alternately control switches S1 and S2 of the column-level buffer PING-PANG acquisition circuit to control V. shift Signal acquisition, and alternating control of switches S3 and S4 to F S1 and F S2 The acquired signal is held, and the idle time of the control switches S1 and S2 generates C. RST The column readout lines are reset, and the on-times of switches S1 and S2, and switches S3 and S4 overlap by 6*TMC, i.e., F. H1 and F S1 F H2 and F S2 The opening times overlap by 6*T MC TMC is the master clock cycle, and through the overlapping design, the buffer output stage does not need to be copied twice.

[0025] Step S22, continuous acquisition control includes: according to the configured V shiftThe signal operating sequence is as follows: control switches S1 and S3 are always open, connecting capacitors C1 and C3 to supply voltage to V. shift Signal filtering, control switches S2 and S3 are always off, and the idle time between the row strobe control signals generates C. RST The column read lines are reset, and the buffer output stage outputs continuously.

[0026] In steps S21 and S22, V has been processed in two different ways. shift The signal is acquired and held. Based on the amplitude of the acquired and held signal, the switching of the column-level buffer driver circuit is controlled to change the open-loop and closed-loop modes of the column-level buffer driver circuit, including: When the signal swing is large, switches S5, S7, and S9 are turned on by control circuit M1 of the column-level buffer driver stage, and switches S6 and S8 are turned off by control circuit M0, so that the buffer driver stage operates in closed-loop mode. Resistor R0 drives the output driver transistor M. N12 / M N13 Provides a relatively constant drain-source voltage V ds This improves the linearity of large-swing output signals and reduces output impedance to accelerate signal establishment.

[0027] When the signal swing is small, switches S5, S7, and S9 are turned off by control circuit M1 of the column-level buffer driver stage, and switches S6 and S8 are turned on by control circuit M0, so that the buffer driver stage operates in open-loop mode. Resistor R0 drives the output driver transistor M. N12 / M N13 Provides a relatively constant drain-source voltage V ds This improves the linearity of the output signal and reduces the power consumption of the buffer.

[0028] This application employs a column-level buffer input stage circuit with dual column lines and a reset switch, which can effectively solve the problem of high-speed pixel column signal readout in large-area arrays and reduce the impact of column line voltage drop and parasitic capacitance on signal establishment.

[0029] Based on the PING-PANG sampling control timing and circuitry of this application, the driver stage circuitry can be reduced by half, thereby reducing circuit area and power consumption, which is beneficial for column-level layout within size constraints. Furthermore, this PING-PANG sampling control timing and circuitry can be switched to continuous sampling mode, which is beneficial for continuous acquisition of signals within pixels, further reducing circuit noise.

[0030] The infrared detector column-level buffer control method proposed in this application can realize four pixel column signal driving modes: PING-PANG closed-loop driving, continuous closed-loop driving, PING-PANG open-loop driving, and continuous open-loop driving, solving the problem of high-speed, low-power, and high-performance column-level output in the design of large-scale column-level digital infrared detectors.

[0031] This application further proposes an implementation example of an infrared detector column-level buffer and its control method. In this example, according to... Figure 3 The control timing shown includes the following steps: (1) Pixel column signal readout row by row: The buffer bias circuit is set with a reasonable bias voltage to generate the correct operating current, ensuring the normal operation of the circuit; such as Figure 2 Each column line shown in the diagram simultaneously connects to N rows of cells in the array. First, the column line is reset between row-to-row gating signals; in this embodiment, it is reset to ground. Then, the row gating switches are opened row by row. Cells in the same column are connected to the buffer input stage circuit via dual column lines, and in0 is connected to M via current. N4 in1 is connected to M via voltage. N5 After M N8 After in1 superimposed V GS8 The Vshift signal was obtained, and the pixel integral signal was restored with high linearity.

[0032] (2) Acquisition of column signal PING-PANG: such as Figure 3 The control timing shown is F in this embodiment. S1 and F S2 With twice the line processing time of 256*T MC The period is 123*T, and the pulse width is 123*T. MC Alternately control switches S1 and S2 to acquire the Vshift signal; F S1 and F S2 The idle time between them generates C RST The period is 128*T MC The period is 3*T, and the pulse width is 3*T. MC Reset the column readout lines; F H1 and F H2 With twice the line processing time of 256*T MC The period is 127*T, and the pulse width is 127*T. MC Alternately control switches S3 and S4 to control F S1 and F S2 The acquired signal is held; where F H1 and F S1 F H2 and F S2 The opening times overlap by 6*T MC T MCUsing the master clock cycle, the buffer can output continuously through an overlapping design, reducing area and power consumption.

[0033] (3) Pixel column signal closed-loop drive ADC: Configure M1 high through the register to enable S5, S7 and S9, configure M0 low to disable switches S6 and S8, and set the current of R0 and the feedback branch to supply power to the output drive transistor M N12 / M N13 It provides a relatively constant drain-source voltage Vds, enabling the buffer driver stage to operate in closed-loop mode, and reduces the equivalent output impedance of the buffer, thereby accelerating signal establishment and improving the linearity of large-swing signals.

[0034] (4) Pixel column signal open-loop drive ADC: By configuring M1 to low in the register, S5, S7 and S9 are turned off, and by configuring M0 to high, switches S6 and S8 are turned on. The bias current is provided by the buffer bias circuit. R0 and the feedback branch are shielded, so that the buffer drive stage works in open-loop mode. The linearity of small signal swing is improved and the power consumption is reduced by shorting the substrate source.

[0035] (5) ADC acquires quantization buffer signal: In steps (2) and (3 or 4), the pixel column signal has been acquired and driven by PING-PANG method. The period of the ADC NRST_AD signal is 128*T. MC The pulse width is 12*T MC During the initial reset and signal establishment phase of the column buffer, the ADC internals are reset, which also serves to synchronize the quantization code value of the previous row's pixel signal. After the reset is complete, the signal is sampled and quantized M times to obtain the quantization code for the current row.

[0036] According to the control method of this embodiment, voltage readout is used to reduce the impact of column line voltage drop differences, column line reset control is used to reduce the impact of column line parasitic capacitance on signal establishment, PING-PANG acquisition control method is used to increase readout time without adding additional circuitry and power consumption, and closed-loop drive of the output stage is used to achieve high-speed, high-linearity establishment of large signals. In summary, the control method of this embodiment can effectively solve the problem of reading out and acquiring pixel column signals of large-array high-speed, high-linearity infrared detectors.

[0037] This application further proposes an implementation example of an infrared detector column-level buffer and its control method. In this example, according to... Figure 4 The control timing shown is consistent with... Figure 3 The difference in the control example shown is that in step (2), the column signal is set to continuous acquisition instead of PING-PANG acquisition. Therefore, the remaining steps will not be repeated. Only the continuous acquisition method of the column signal in step (2) will be described: (2) Continuous acquisition of column signals: such as Figure 4 The control timing shown is FS1 and F H1 Switches S1 and S3 are kept on continuously, and capacitors C1 and C3 are connected together to filter the Vshift signal; F S2 and F H2 The S2 and S4 switches are kept off; the idle time between the row strobe control signals generates CRST to reset the column readout lines; the ADC's NRST_AD resets the ADC internally during the column line reset and the initial stage of signal establishment, while synchronizing the quantization code value of the previous row of pixel signals, and the buffer output stage outputs continuously.

[0038] According to control method two, noise can be further reduced by continuously acquiring pixel column signals and combining this with incremental ADC to suppress oversampling of signal noise. In summary, both methods can achieve both ultra-high-speed PING-PANG acquisition and low-noise continuous acquisition without increasing additional circuit area and power consumption.

[0039] The control method proposed in this application, which is compatible with both PING-PANG sampling and continuous sampling, eliminates the need for two identical driver stage circuits, reducing area and power consumption, and also helps to reduce noise in applications.
